American Farmers at the Head.

Probably in no country in the world
is there to be found state of intellectual
advancement among the people who
till the soil equal to that which exists
among our native American farmers.
Some causes of this are manifest. The
tiller of European soil seldom owns his
land, and it requires constant vigilance
and unremitting toll on the part of him
self and his whole family to pay rents
and make both ends meet" leaving
no time to crafty any wants above the
stomach. On the other hand, there are
among our native western farmers many
gentlemen of comparative leisure who
till their own land and carry on agri-
cultural industries with as much ease
and far less wOrriment of mind than
our city men conduct their business.
The farmers sons and daughters have
all the educational advantages that are
to be had in our entire country, and it
is long since a well-established fact that
the ablest and most successful business
men to be found in our cities are the
sons of American farmers. Pick out
of any city one hundred young men
and maidens, let me select an equal
number of the same age among our intel
ligent farmers sons and daughters, and
! will guarantee, as to the latter, minds
better filled with general information.
The chief reason is that the latter spend
their long winter evenings in storing
their minds with useful knowledge,
while the former waste their time in
various fashionable forms of amuse-
ment where the highest intellectual
achievement is to be well up in small
talk.-American Mdgdzine.

The Time to Cut Grass.

Two acres of timothy grass especially
uniform in character and growth were
divided into two plots of one acre each.
other was cut about sixteen days later,
when the grass was approaching ripe
ness. The grass was carefully cured
and the hay weighed when stored in
the barn After being in the barn for
five or six months each lot of hay was
reweighed to determine the amount of
dry" hay from each cutting. The
average increased yield of "dry" hay
was SAG pounds per acre, where the
grass was nearly ripe, over the yield of
grass cut in bloom. The average
shrinkage in weight of early-cut hay
was twenty-six per cent and of the
late-cut nineteen per cent. The aver
age yield per acre in four experiments
of two years each was 1856 pounds of
early-cut hay and 1901 pounds per acre
of late-cut hay. But chemical analysis
showed that the increased weight of
late-cut hay was due to the growth of
starch and woody fiber, as the nitro
genous compounds or portein, the most
valuable food element, had increased
none or but very little. This is a
strong argument in favor of early-cut
hay-that is, cut when in bloom. So
true is it that the 1856 pounds of early
cut hay were found to contain a little
more actual food elements than the
$500 pounds of late-cut hay. This was
at the Pennsylvania Agricultural Col
lege.-HOmeStedd

FOdder-COrn.

We have a good deal of faith in fod-
der-corn, especially when cut, nicely
cured and stored for winter fodder.
We think it good economy to cut early
a piece of grass which is not up to the
mark for quantity, turn over the sod
and put in fodder-corn. For this pur-
pose the Sanford corn is excellent 1t
(nor any other corn) should not be
sown broadcast nor planted as thickly
in drills as many practice, as the crop
so crowded throws a spindling, pale
stalk, about as devoid of nutrition as
cows horn is of tallow. Sanford corn
planted in rows three feet apart and a
kernel every twelve inches in the row
will on fairly good ground give a good
burden of good fodder. OF course a
little fine manure narrowed in or some
phosphate put in with it will pay in the
increased crop. Stick in little more
corn as you have opportunity. 1t will
pay.

forgets continued kindness. How often
every thoughtful horseman has OBJ
served touching evidences of the friend
ship of his horse. The gently caress-
ing nose, the kindly eye, the neigh of
welcome and the outstretched neck
speak as eloquently as words of noble,
thinking nature. Yet this same animal
can by i'll usage be transformed into a
vicious, dangerous brute. We have
found as a rule that the man who loves
and cares for his horses, and is studi-
ously interested concerning their wei
fare, is man full of the deepest affec-
ton for his family and sympathy for
his fellow-beings. A child brought up
in the country with fondness for
birds, cattle, dogs. horses, ETC., gener-
ally becomes kind-hearted man. He
may not be a church-going person, but
in his dealings with men is far more
honest aud charitable than some of his
protesting Christian acquaintances.-

An Animal Army.

Marvellous invaders are the jennings.
They are near relatives of the short
tailed iieldmOuse, and are about five
inches long, with round heads, brown
fur and bead-like eyes. Their home is
in the highlands, or fells, of the great
central mountain chain of Sweden and
Norway, where they build nests of
grass for their young. The jennings
are spteful little creatures when
aroused, sitting up on their hind legs
and fighting with will. Not only are
they pugnacious, but extremely rest
less and migratory as well; and every
five, ten or twenty years they seem
possessed by a desire to see foreign
lands. Thereupon, they one and all
leave their settlements and start out in
tens of thousands, overrun the cult
waited tracts of land in both Norway
and Sweden and ruin the plants and
vegetation. They march only at night,
pressing on slowly in one straight
course, and allowing nothing to dis
turb them. Birds and various animals
follow and prey upon them; but, not
withstanding this, they actually in
crease in numbers, gaining recruits as
they advance. Rivers are swum and
hills crossed, until, finally, the Atlantic
or the Gulf of Bothnia, is reached. But,
still impelled by the same blind instinct
that has led it onward, the entire vast
concourse plunges into the sea, swim
ming onward, the little animals piling
one upon another as they are beaten
back, until at times their bodies have
formed veritable sea-walls. Boatmen
returning TO the beach have fOund their
way obstructed by a struggling horde
that has just reached the sea. The
number of jennings in these bands is
beyond all computation. Sometimes
the march is kept up for three years
before the water is reached Charles
Frederick Holder, in st. Nicholas.

An Absurd idea.

There is among otherwise good farm
ers habit of secretiveness about their
farm methods which is not only I'M
charitable in itself but detrimental to
their own best interests. They appear
to think that if they impart their knowl-
edge so that their neighbors or the
farming public generally will be bene-
flied that they will suffer corresponding
loss. The absurdity of such an idea
should be apparent to everybody. Any
improvement in farming which makes
two blades of grass grow without extra
expense where only one grew before is
a benefit to the entire public. Even if
all farmers adopt il they will be gain
ers, though the prices of grass and hay
with all their products be reduced. The
farmer is the basis of all public pros
perity. 1t not only cannot come with
out his aid nor yet without his sharing
in it. One of the strongest arguments
for the grange organization is that its
whole tendency is against that kind of
selfshness and in favor of making
farmers mutually helpful. And it must
be added that the chief objection of
some farmers to joining it is to be
found in the fact that if they did join
they would be expected to give informa-
ton as well as to receive it.-American

Curing Hay.

The curing of hay in the cock is a
practice that is rapidly growing in
favor. Those who make business of
gathering and drying medicinal herbs
always dry them under cover, or in the
shade, as the way to secure them in the
greatest perfection of preservation.
Grass cured in the same way would
give quality of hay now rarely or
never seen. One man we heard at an
agricultural meeting gave his expert
ence in this matter. Having plenty of
barn room he cured his hay in the
barn-enough to keep his cow-and
with the most satisfactory results. Of
course no large farmer who has acres
of grass to cut can do this; but here is
the principle, and its practical appli-
cation to curing grass seems as yet to be
by curing in the cock. Especially
should clover be cured in this manner.
Dried in the sun, spread upon the
ground, its leaves are dried to brittle
ness and are lost in handling, while the
large, succulent stalks are yet green
and unfit for storage. Curing in cocks
is subject to one loss-the coming on of
rain, which will damage the hay, though
if it be well put up not so much as some
imagine. Hay-caps remove this diff
Guilty, and we are going to have some as
soon as we are able.

The Weeds.

What time for the weeds to grow.
Warm and wet enough. How their
heads come up through the dirt. And
they do not waste any time loafing
around, either, but attend strictly to
business, and the farmer who does not
let them get ahead of him has got to
get up early, keep sharp lookout and
be tolerably spry about going for them.
Where corn or potatoes are planted with
planter and stand little below the
surface of the ground, each side the
smoothing harrow may be used with
excellent results, both as to quality of
work done and in time of doing it.
When the crops are large the cultivator
will do a great share of the work.
How different now from what we bows
had it, forty years or more ago, when
it had to be nearly all done by hand
with the hoe. Now the improved cul-
tivators do large share of the work
some farmers, indeed, not putting a
hoe into the field at all But we hardly
think clean cultivation can be secured
without some work with the hoe. At
any rate keep down the weeds, for they
take fertilizer which costs $40 per ton,
and, besides, lessen the crop by crowd
ing it. Look out for the weeds, or they
will get ahead in their race for life and
propagation.
